New Parishioners

Are you new to the parish?

If you have recently moved to the borders or joined our parish community, we extend to you a very warm and heartfelt welcome.

Our parish here in the Scottish Borders is a vibrant and growing community, enriched by people from many backgrounds and walks of life. We enjoy strong connections with our local Catholic school, which brings many young families into parish life.

Everyone who comes to Mass—whether regularly or occasionally—is invited, if they wish, to take an active part in parish life. This may be through welcoming at Mass, supporting our Sacramental preparation programmes, contributing to music and liturgy, or joining one of our parish groups and ministries (many of which are listed on this website). Of course, you may prefer simply to attend Mass quietly without joining a group, and you are equally welcome.

We encourage you to complete and return our New Parishioner Form, which you can print off and hand in to the Parish Office/Presbytery. This enables us to add you to our parish register (all information held in accordance with data protection guidelines and never shared with third parties).

If you would like to speak with the priest or have any questions, please do get in touch using the details on our Contact Us page. We look forward to getting to know you and hope you will feel welcome and at home in our Faith Community.
